ABSTRACT
The exploration of the plasmonic field enhancement of nanoprobes consisting of gold and magnetic core@gold shell nanoparticles has found increasing application for the development of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)-based biosensors. The understanding of factors controlling the electromagnetic field enhancement, as a result of the plasmonic field enhancement of the nanoprobes in SERS biosensing applications, is critical for the design and preparation of the optimal nanoprobes. This report describes findings from theoretical calculations of the electromagnetic field intensity of dimer models of gold and magnetic core@gold shell nanoparticles in immunoassay SERS detection of biomarkers. The electromagnetic field intensities for a series of dimeric nanoprobes with antibody-antigen-antibody binding defined interparticle distances were examined in terms of nanoparticle sizes, core-shell sizes, and interparticle spacing. The results reveal that the electromagnetic field enhancement not only depended on the nanoparticle size and the relative core size and shell thicknesses of the magnetic core@shell nanoparticles but also strongly on the interparticle spacing. Some of the dependencies are also compared with experimental data from SERS detection of selected cancer biomarkers, showing good agreement. The findings have implications for the design and optimization of functional nanoprobes for SERS-based biosensors.

With the continuous implementation of ecological civilization and the transformation of multi-functional land management, the ecologicalization of land consolidation has entered a critical period of theoretic innovation and practical application. Systematically combing the development of theoretical research and practical exploration of ecological environment effect of land consolidation, and clarifying the service direction and implementation path of the land science discipline research under the "New Era" are urgent for the implementation of the "ecological" land consolidation stra-tegy. We reviewed the literatures on the ecological environment effects of land consolidation in the past 18 years. Using Citespace 1.0 software as analysis tool, we identified the research hotspots of ecological environmental effects of land consolidation, and discussed the mechanism of ecological environmental effects of land consolidation based on the analysis of relationship among ecological environment elements, ecological landscape and ecosystem services. Further, we proposed a new application path of "ecological" land consolidation from the measurement of regional ecosystem service level and the diagnosis of obstacle factors, the impact of land consolidation on regional ecosystem services and its mechanism, and the construction of ecological land consolidation model based on the promotion of ecosystem services, which aimed to provide a scientific basis for the restoration and construction of the life community of "mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes and grasses" in China.
